Les Figues: Maneuvers

Les Figues Press is publishing a book by me! The New Poetics comes next year in their Trench Art: Maneuvers series. Each year they begin by publishing a book of aesthetic statements from the artists and writers participating in the series. Below is all the info you need to pick up a copy of the aesthetics... become a member, it's a great press!

Hand-bound in an edition of 250, TrenchArt: Maneuvers introduces the fifth annual TrenchArt series, with aesthetics written by participating series writers and visual artists. Maneuvers explores the possibilities of re-ordered time and content framed with the understanding that one cannot separate content from time, and that to shift the form or the order is to shift the subjectivies of a text. The participants in the 2009/2010 series are Harold Abramowitz, Lily Hoang, Paul Hoover, Matthew Timmons and Vincent Dachy.
